Druzba Oddities

I told Alisa I would follow along with the meme she borrowed from Erika so here is my list of 5 Weird Things I Do:

1. I check that the stove is off at random times.
I do this especially after using the stove but often randomly when I walk by it, even though I know I’ve already checked it before. When I’m leaving the house for an extended period, I will check it several times before. Needless to say, a stove fire caused by a burner that was left on is probably not in my future.

2. I don’t like the thought of plugs that are less that fully inserted into sockets.
Sometimes plugs can become loose in a socket. I am not comfortable leaving them like that and will go out of my way to make sure they are in. It is because of this that I unplug certain things when I go away on vacation.

3. When I come home from somewhere, I have a routine I like to follow.
I come home, take my wallet, keys, and watch out. I pick up the mail. I put stuff away that I brought into the house and take off my shoes. Sometimes I come home and have to go to the bathroom. Unless my bladder is at DEFCON 1, I’ll follow my routine regardless. Somehow, I find it rewarding if I am able to do so.

4. I fear losing my wallet and keys.
Because of this, I always check that I have my wallet and keys, by pressing my hand over where they go, when I get in the car from anywhere. I have never lost my wallet or keys.

5. I don’t trust the auto-shutoff feature of appliances.
Because of this, I always unplug things like irons, curling irons, griddles, etc.

Origin of Stink

The daughter has taken to saying, “P.U.,” in recent months, when she fills her pants with the nasty. What is P.U. an acronym for though?

My guess was “Posterior Unpleasantness.” Apparently, the answer is really nothing. Thanks Innanet!

This Post Is Flurptastic!

My new box of fish excitedly told me to witness the new Flavor Lock pouch inside. Check this out:

Flavor Lock Pouch

You know, because “New! Sealed in Plastic Bag!” doesn’t have the same zing. If the bag were vacuum sealed, they might have been able to squeak that one by my That’s-Crap-o-Meter™.

Alisa and I just had a conversation about this very thing over the weekend. We finished watching a DVD and I noticed her player has, in big font on the front, “DynaMovie.” DynaMovie? Eh? Of course, because saying “Our DVD player works just as well as any other DVD player you’ve seen” doesn’t have the same sales punch. So, enter Marketing to make up a new word for standard DVD resolution.

This is the world we live in. I’m not allowed to be underwhelmed by the plastic bag I was expecting to envelop my fish. I must be made to be excited as all hell for the plastic bag that, truth be told, I already kind of expect to surround most of my frozen food.

Recent Things That Make Me Giddy

Monday, January 16th, 2006

1. I can’t have a title like that and not start with her. The girlfriend rocks. Know it.

2. The recent string of food creations that have allowed me to reduce and remove products from my cabinets and refrigerator. I have difficulty parting with food items simply by throwing them away. If I can use them up in some grand creation, there are little bonus point balloons that flash in my head. Triple food bonus score!

3. Basil Chicken and, more specifically, my Simply Thai cookbook from the recent holiday gift giving. The Basil Chicken appeals because you could make a nice fresh Goat Cheese/Basil/Sun Dried Tomato pizza as was had this weekend and then you’ve got all this basil you don’t know what to do with and hello Basil Chicken with your 20+ leaves in the recipe. Double food bonus score!

4. I successfully implemented a Linux thin-client solution which is handy if, like your jars of condiments, you like to get a lot of mileage out of computer hardware. This, of course, isn’t the main reason I worked on the project. It does have practical use job-wise.
